‘The future shape of the Iraqi oil industry will affect oil markets, and the functioning of Opec, in both of which we have a vital interest," said a British Foreign Office paper in 2003.

And those groups complain that the UK’s Chilcot report into the war, released last week, brushes the subject under the carpet.
